Day 28

One of the greatest needs we experience in our culture is that many are frustrated because they are not content..
Our society lives in a constant state of discontentment..
Our house is too small, our TV is an older model and our smartphone doesn’t have the latest 5G technology. So what’s a person to do in order to find contentment in such a restless world, and why can’t we seem to find the contentment that we’re looking for?..
Many of us are trying to fill a void of some kind in our lives, and unfortunately we try to fill that void with things that can’t satisfy..
We look to fill the void with possessions or money, but we only end up wanting more. We try to fill it with relationships or worldly pleasures, but we end up feeling even more empty and depressed than when we started because those things were never meant to fulfill us..
The only place that we can really find true fulfillment and contentment is in Christ..
True contentment isn’t something that we find in things, people or circumstances; it only comes from accepting Jesus Christ, and having faith that in Him you will have everything you need..
Christ’s promises, power, purpose and provision is sufficient for every circumstance..
True godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it..
“When you live a life of abandoned love, surrendered before the awe of God, here’s what you’ll experience: Abundant life. Continual protection. And complete satisfaction!….”(Proverbs 19:23‬)
